Your Virtual Mediation Process
The Bespoke Path: Resolve. Empower. Transition.
Most people think divorce requires two aggressive lawyers and a $15,000 - $30,000 bill. It doesn’t. If you and your spouse are ready to move forward, you can settle your entire divorce through our $1,500 Amicable Resolution Package.
​
The Financial Logic: Compare the Costs - Why "Pro Se" (Self-Filing) is Your Secret Weapon
Once we finalize your Mediated Settlement Agreement, you will take that document and file it with your local County Clerk immediately. Here is why doing your own paperwork is the ultimate "Power Move":
​
-
You Keep the Cash: Instead of paying an attorney $400/hour to "stand in line" or mail a packet, you pay the court’s filing fee directly (usually around $210–$250 in Georgia).
-
You Set the Pace: You aren't waiting on a law firm’s schedule. You know exactly when your papers hit the clerk's desk.
-
Complete Privacy: You handle your sensitive documents yourself, ensuring they go from our secure mediation session straight to the court.
-
The "Peace of Mind" Review: Because you’ve saved so much in mediation, you have the budget to hire a "Consulting Attorney" for a quick one-hour review of your final forms. It’s a "Legal Safety Net" without the "Legal Retainer."
How It Works (The 3-Step Journey)
-
Mediate: We meet virtually to resolve every issue of concern.
-
Document: I draft your comprehensive Settlement Agreement.

The "Bespoke" Deliverables ($1,500.00)
This covers the complex, high-stakes documents that a judge actually reviews to ensure the divorce is fair and legal. I draft these based on our mediation sessions:
-
Mediation: The core of your investment is the Trauma-Informed Facilitated Negotiation Process.
-
The Settlement Agreement: The master document dividing all property, debts, and retirement.
-
The Parenting Plan: A complete roadmap for custody and visitation (if children are involved).
-
Child Support Addendum & Worksheet: The technical state-mandated math (if children are involved).
-
Memorandum of Understanding: A plain-English recap of everything we agreed upon.
The "Pro Se" Filing Checklist (Your Responsibility)
Since you are saving $5,000+ by not hiring a full-service attorney, you will act as your own representative (Pro Se). You simply download your county’s "Uncontested Divorce Packet" and add your Settlement Agreement to it.
The standard Georgia "Envelope" forms you will sign and file:
-
Domestic Relations Case Filing Form: The one-page "ID card" for your case.
-
Complaint for Divorce: The formal "request" for the divorce.
-
Verification: A notarized "vow" that your paperwork is honest.
-
Acknowledgment of Service: A notarized form where your spouse says, "I agree and don't need a sheriff to serve me."
-
Consent to Trial: An agreement to let the judge sign your divorce in chambers (usually after 31 days).
-
Report of Divorce (Form 3907): A state record form required for vital statistics.
-
Final Judgment & Decree: The final "order" the judge signs to make you officially single.
